Hi all I have a client who has very tight muscles to her upper back. I have used compression and friction technique I worry that I am applying too much pressure will too much pressure hurt the client?
Different client reacts differently. on some clients you can put the pressure of an elephant and they would like more pressure, while some other clients you can do only deep effleurage... So, depend on the client. Best is not to exceed the amount of pain the client experience on the first treatment, then on the second treatment to get some feedback from the client. Also, try other techniques such as stretches and oscilation.
